"Sorry, we're not home right now, please leave a message at the beep-beep. beep. beep-beep-beep-beep, beep, beep beeep-beep. Oh, and by the way, you owe me $100, sucker!"
Damnit, I knew it would be some stupid shit like that!
Yah, weed and ethanol-bearing plants grown in the same facility! Err... scratch that. I'm opening a hydroponics facility right now so that I can grow some... uhmm... plants... to... uhmm... make some... uhmm... ethanol so I can get... uhmm... h... uhmm... to work... ok? Oh, that? That's a special type of fern!
TV out?! Sweet! Okay, use the afformentioned lunch box (a few posts up), USB-Serial dongle, an IR reciever, 200GB HD (or 2 of them), DVD-ROM drive, and some ripping software (cladDVD and Dr. DivX). Get a good universal remote for it and you have a portable movie player (how many DivX movies can you rip onto a 200GB drive?). Throw in a TV tuner card and you have a PVR in a lunch box. Make the DVD-ROM a DVD-RW and you have a sweet setup. All by remote control on any TV. Of course, you'd have to write your own UI for it so you could read everything on the TV screen, but it would be a sweet setup!
You can flip a page on your desk to switch monitors!
As well, consider what this means for tablet PCs! The PC can fit in your pocket or in a pouch around your waist, while you can unfold the screen (15 inches should be good enough, you DO have to cary it), which has a cable attatching it to the PC. All of this could fold down to 3x4x1 inches when not in use.
Ahh... And those who can record from the WAV source (the actual digital audio sent to the sound card) can have those 10 day trial tracks forever! Not to mention the ease of creating a 2 inch stereo patch cable similar to the one I have connecting my line out #2 (rear speakers if I set my SBLive to surround) jack into my line in (make sure to enable line-in record and no line-in playback or you could do some damage).
2 simple solutions - one is free, the other cost me 5 cents worth of wire, a pennysworth of solder, and about a buck for 2 stereo plugs (read: "$1.06 after 6% MI sales tax").
Sure, I'll download those tracks with to 10 day limit. If I like them, I'll do my best to purchase rights to listen to the CD quality versions without paying the RIAA (contact the artist directly and request a copy and pay whatever they want for it - they earned it) and if that fails, well, I just listed two methods to work around the issue until a non-protected CD is available or the artist is able to sell to me directly!
I'm not for tipping people off. If you do good work, I'll make a good attempt to give you a good paycheck. By restricting my access to your work, you restrict your access to my wallet. Simple as that. (RIAA, read: "If I can't have a good product from you, you can;t have good money from me!")
Write-in (type-in?) vote: Osama BinLaden. Maybe he won't hate the place once he's running it, and anything is better than the Repubs in office now!
Sure, he flew a few planes through a few buildings and all, but c'mon, if he's elected pres, he'll come out of hiding. Then we can ignore him while he's in office, and hell, I wonder of that dead-or-alive prize will still be on his head when he's pres? I mean c'mon. You know there'd be assasination attempts like crazy! Talk about entertainment! While he's distracted by the red dots floating around his face, we can take our country back!
Keep in mind that they are using single atoms for proessing. They manipulate the innards of the atom to store data.
"Uhmm, guys? You might wanna fucking run, the core temperature of my CPU just rose 10f and seems to want to keep rising! I think it's about to melt down!"
If ever there was an argument for water ooling, aside from noise control.
I call it "I can download at the same rate as a full T1 but I can only upload about as fast as the dialup I was paying half as much for. I think I'll stick with the dialup. It's just as effective for the server I wish to run, half the cost, and running said server is not a TOS violation with my dialup ISP as it was for my cable AND DSL providers."
Remember, this InterWeb thingy goes 2 ways. If you can't upload ACK packets fast enough, what sense does it make to have a download cap higher than you'll ever see with your upload cap?
I'll buy a copy protected CD and I'll CRACK the protection to play it on my PC because that IS my CD player. Don't like it? Who cares. I purchased it,I opened it, I can't return it, I'm damned well gonna listen to it by any means necessary. Did I say I was going to distribute illegal copies? NO! I'm just gonna crack the protection in order to LISTEN TO IT and maybe make an MP3 of it to take with me on the road (ahh, yes, 30GB of MP3s sitting on the seat next to me in the truck).
Copyright violation? Hell no!
Within my rights as a consumer who has spent his hard-earned money to purchase a CD and make a copy in another format so I can play it elsewhere(yes, it is legal to make copies for personal use, and for you to lend the original to a friend who can then make a copy for personal use). I don't lend my CDs out because they usually come back scratched, and it is illegal to lend or distribute a copy, so that's not me. If a friend wants to bring thier PC to my house and make a copy of one or more of my CDs, that's different. That's legal as I am lending it and I can supervise them to make sure they don't scratch it (in fact, I can legally place the disc in thier CD-ROM drive, let them copy it, and remove the disc myself. They never have to handle it at all, but I'm still lending it to them, which is within my rights)!
Bone-up, bonehead. Know the law before you assume someone is talking about breaking it.
And yes, I'm surew perfectly LEGAL methods of copying legally purchased music to other formats will be abused by those who wish to pirate it. It has been happening since the first music recording that could be played at home! I believe that is what is being stated repeatedly by the/. and OSS communities.
One day, I decided I wanted to start smokin' crack, so I started smokin' crack and I liked smokin' crack, so I kept smokin' crack, and now I'm hooked on smokin' crack because I like smokin' crack, so I got my friends to start smokin' crack because it was more fun that way than smokin' crack alone, because it is always more fun to do things in groups, especially smokin' crack, and because of this and how much i like smokin' crack, i'm smokin' crack right now, and by the way, my name is Darl McBride and i'm smokin' crack and i was smokin' crack while i hacked this guy's account to post this message about smokin' crack; and by the way, smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack smokin' crack!
How many of you have downloaded a compiler or interpreter of any kind? Or documentation for a scripting language? Or an HTML editor?
Does this mean that MS could be put out of commission for providing such things as:
Notepad
Windows Scripting Support
BATCH scripting
ActiveX
Visual BASIC
Visual BASIC for Applications
Office Macros
Visual C++
In fact, almost everything they create! You can download alot of it, as well - or at least documentation for it, which could be used by malicious hackers and virus writers!
In fact, I'm sure a malicious hacker or virus writer is capable of using any program or any material available on the web. Does this mean that everything has to come down?
I under-clocked a pentium once and it ran hotter. I over clocked the same chip and was able to run it for a week without a heatsink cooler than when it was properly clocked with a heatsink! it only ran as such for a week because I got my athlon system then, dropped the clock back down and installed slack on it.
